Simply AWESOME

I absolutly love my 60D!!!! If you are looking for great color, clear shots and ease of use, the 60D is for you. I have fallen in love with the fact that I can switch from auto focus to manual focus with the simple flip of a switch. The battery life is beyond belief! Talk about High Definition...this camera has it all. I could not be more pleased. I highly recommend it to family, friends and strangers who ask me about it. Now if I could just save up enough money to get the MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro Photo lense for my bug shots.......Simply AWESOME camera.
Pros: good battery life, Quick Start-up time, excellent image quality, Bright LCD, Solid Operation, Simple controls/menu, easy to use
Cons: Heavy/Bulky

HIGH QUALITY DSLR CAMERA
on July 7, 2012
Posted by: MINDFREE
from Tampa, FL
I upgraded from the S5-IS because I wanted a camera that would be more versatile than any I have owned before. After six weeks I am pleased with the performance of the Canon EOS 60D. With the right lens and settings I am able to capture crisp quality images under any lighting condition. I use the Canon EFS 15-85mm as my standard lens and it delivers superb images every time. The flip out LCD is also very useful. The built in flash is adequate for most settings, but I use a Speedlite 430 external flash for better results. I was a little disappointed with the video mode; if I don't start the auto focus on the camera by slightly pressing the shutter button the video automatically stops after a few seconds. Taking still photos at night with the ISO values of 1600 to 3200 yield some very good images. The camera with the lens feel balanced though a little on the bulky side; which for my hands is fine. Overall, the 60D is an excellent value for the photo enthusiast.
Pros: good battery life, quiet, Nice features/settings, Quick Start-up time, excellent image quality, Superior build quality, Bright LCD, Solid Operation, quick control button
Cons: did not include an ac adapter., push button on user setting wheel is not needed., auto focus must be set before recording video.

Still Facinated !

I have owned three Canon SLR cameras. I am very pleased with the upgrades that I have gotten with each purchase. I still am learning the settings and the uses for all the controls. I have everything that I need to spend many years of a great hobby. I find that the Canon 60D gives me the chance to get the pictures that I have wanted my whole life. I started 15 years ago with the digital cameras. Canon has given me the chance to take it to another level. I hope that many more people will loiok into this camera for a purchase of a lifetime.
Pros: good battery life, excellent image quality, Superior build quality, Bright LCD, Solid Operation, this camera gives me all the control that i need.
Cons: Complicated controls/menu

Poor build quality
on May 29, 2011

I purchased this camera as a step up from the T1i and I was disappointed at the build quality especially the grip. The rubber on the grip peels off. I thought it was my copy but I've looked at different copies at different stores and they all have the same issue. Since I'm a heavy user, I returned it and purchased the 7D. Although, the 7D is heavier and doesn't have the swivel screen, I am happy with performance and build quality. I've noticed that Canon's build quality on their new series of cameras (60D, T3i, and T3) are below standard. I'm surprised more people haven't complained about this; perhaps, these units are too new.
Pros: good battery life, Quick Start-up time, excellent image quality, Lightweight/Portable, easy to use
Cons: Poor build quality
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Value!

I went from a10D to a Rebel Xti to the 60D. The 60D is a wonderful combination of weight, build and features. It works for everything I need and has enough weight to feel well-balanced with heavier lenses, although an accessory grip helps. The LCD on the back is fantastic; it has very high resolution. And the battery life (I have 2 in the grip) is amazing.
Pros: good battery life, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, Bright LCD, easy to use

CANON ROCKS

what can I say about the 60d, this camera has all that you could ask for, and then some ! It's not a pro camera(close to it thought) but for someone looking to spend a little more time taking awesome pictures it's perfect.
Canon hit it out of the ball park with the moveable screen, the only gripe I have is that I wish the selector button on the top left went all the way around instead of stopping at some point. **well worth the money** this is my second canon camera and I am a fan of their stuff all the way!**
